What if a problem arises during the semester at the agency?
• Communication is key! Each faculty/instructional staff member should devise and discuss with service-learners a plan for dealing with any problems during your service-learning experience. First, discuss any problems with your site supervisor. Next, contact your faculty/instructional staff member to let him/her know about the issue and that you talked with your site supervisor. Be sure to document any problems you have. Above all, keep your faculty/instructional staff member well-informed as to what is happening at your site. Many issues that first look like problems turn out to be learning opportunities.
